               A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: DNA can
             replicate itself only with the help of some specialized proteins
             (enzymes). However, the synthesis of these enzymes can be realized
             only by the information coded in DNA. As they both depend on
             each other, they have to exist at the same time for replication. This
             brings the scenario that life originated by itself to a deadlock. Prof.
             Leslie Orgel, an evolutionist of repute from the University of San
             Diego, California, confesses this fact in the September 1994 issue of
             the Scientific American magazine:
               It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic acids, both of
               which are structurally complex, arose spontaneously in the same
               place at the same time. Yet it also seems impossible to have one
               without the other. And so, at first glance, one might have to con-
               clude that life could never, in fact, have originated by chemical
               means. 30
               No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated sponta-
             neously as a result of blind coincidences, then it has to be accepted
             that life was "created." This fact explicitly invalidates the theory of
             evolution, whose main purpose is to deny Creation.

               Imaginary Mechanism of Evolution

               The second important point that negates Darwin's theory is that
             both concepts put forward by the theory as "evolutionary mecha-
             nisms" were understood to have, in reality, no evolutionary power.
               Darwin based his evolution allegation entirely on the mecha-
             nism of "natural selection." The importance he placed on this mech-
             anism was evident in the name of his book: The Origin of Species, By
             Means of Natural Selection…
               Natural selection holds that those living things that are stronger
             and more suited to the natural conditions of their habitats will sur-
             vive in the struggle for life. For example, in a deer herd under the
             threat of attack by wild animals, those that can run faster will sur-
